I'm proud to welcome Guillaume Bouchard to our blogging team at SEOmoz. Guillaume and I have communicated a few times over email, but after meeting him at the conference, I knew he was a guy who "gets it". In the search marketing field, Guillaume may be relatively unknown, but he's one of French-speaking Canada's foremost SEOs. Guillaume deals with tough issues in North America that many of us don't see on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to hearing from him on issues like Internet adoption in Quebec, multi-language issues, marketing to a local and highly uniqe audience and dealing with clients and searchers who don't have the sophistication of many in the US and Europe.

Roadies, I already did my first post! Just 2-3 posts below this one! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! And 2K, sure thing, I'll be glad to do some cross-over articles!
Now I need to digest SES Toronto 2006 and catch up work at the office in Montreal, but I'm here for the long run!
Cheers

And so you did. (blushing)
Still glad to have some fresh writing around here. After a while that rand starts to smell like fish. O_o ! (Ok that was original).
Seriously though, you couldn't be in better company. SEOmoz really has their act together and is (even still) gaining a large reputation.

Welcome to the writing team... This will be very interesting as Quebec and Finland are very much alike. Both are multi-lingual areas with a very unique history and limited population. And both have pretty similar behaviour when it comes to e-commerce.... Maybe we should write a cross-over article some day; let me know if you're interested...
